Telegraphers for China.

Philadelphia Times: The telegraph
operators in the various local offices are
excited over the engagement Of num-
Der of operators in New York by the
Mitkiewicz-Barker Chinese telegraph
and telephone syndicate. E. Barberie,
an old operator, who recently returned
from China with Mitliewicz and the
Chinese legation, and who is hiring the
men, is expected in Philadelphia in a
few days, and many operators are anx-
iously awaiting his arrival.
The syndicate, it is said, is Offering
5000 per month and free passage to
China for good operators, and, as out
side of the desire for change the price
offered is almost three times as great as
first-class wages here, there are not a
few operators who have expressed q
desire to engage with the syndicate.

with them rode young Claiborne, a
private in the End Virginia Cavalry.
When the var was ended be emerged
the youngest battalion commander
in the service, having been promoted
to colonel and transferred to the 37th
Virginia Cavalry. At the close of
the war he moved to st. Louis and
began practice as a criminal lawyer.
He has succeeded, with his brother,
l n building up a practice exceeded by
no other firm in the State.
In 1875 he was elected to the Sem
ate, serving the 29th and 3lst sessions.
It was Col. Claiborne who remodeled
the code that now governs the peni-
tertiary at Jefferson City, and it is a
matter of common comment all over
the United States that Missouri has
the best governed institution of this
kind in the Union.
In 1888 be was appointed Prose
cutting Attorney of the Court Of
Criminal Correction, and so satisfac-
torily was the office conducted that
in 1886 was elected by a majority OF
more than 5000 to a second term.
He now occupies the Office.
Col. Claiborne is now conspicuous
IN Missouri at the present time as a
Democratic candidate for Governor.

II was Col. J. s. Mellon who first
conceived the grand idea of ex-Con-
federate reunions, and to him is due
the credit of organizing the Southern
Historical and Benevolent Associa-
ton of st. Louis. The ST. Louis
Champion in this weeks issue has
briefly summoned Mayor MELONS
connection with the wsr and subse-
quent interest in organizing the ex-
Confede rate association of Missouri
and the Historical and Benevolent
Society of st. Louis.
September 1861, during the battle
of Lexington, No., he reported for
duty to Brigadier General Tom Hsr-
ris. Three days later he was promo
ted to Lieutenant Colonel OF Cavalry
of State troops. When Gen. Martin E.
Green took command of the brigade,
he served as staff officer, and Oct.
'61, he raised in n day company A

his company being the first company
received for the first Missouri bri-
gade, better known as Cockrill's Bri-
gade. He served on the staff oil

In 1868 he was promoted AZ
special agent of the Confederate
States and ordered to report directly
to the Secretary Of State with rancl

OF Lisutenant Colonel headquarters
In Mississippi. His duties were vir-
tually that Of military Governor o.
the State for two and ons-balf years.
He did not iose one day during the
war.
The first meeting OF Confederates
after the war was held at the office of
Colonel John G. Moore, on Pine ST.,
st. Louis In 1866, Major Mellon,
President and Major John N. Ed
wards acting as Secretary. The meet
ings were held In the same Office I'M
til 1887. Major Mellon then opened
an Office at sos Chestnut street, and
and for IL years the meetings we're
held In his Office. Having as chair
men Gen. Shields, Col. Shamburgh,
Major Rainwater and Major Mellon.
On special occasions they met at Mer-
chantile Liberty Hall, and Colonel
Slayback's Office.
In 1881, through Major MELONS
indefatigable lahors, it raj decided
to hold a reunion at Moberly, Mo-,
which was bitterly opposed by most
of our politicians, denounciDg Major
Mellon as a crank. He appointed
Colonel Elijah Gates, President, ex-
Governor Thos. G. Reynold, orator
of the day, and Col. Bob Claiborne,
Grand Marshall.
Major Mellon is in the city accom-
panied by his wife, and still takes an
active interest in the affairs of the
Confederate Asspciation and must
naturally feel in justifable pride liz
knowing that be is the father of these
splendid meetings.
One of the most affecting scenes OF
the reunion was the review by Mrs.
Pendleton, widow of the famous Col.
Pendleton, of the remnant of the
celebrated battalion. Fully 10000
visitors witnessed it with uncovered
heads. It was only an incident of
the reunion and not a part of the
programme.

Captain o. F. Guthrie, the Grand
Marshal of the reunion, is a staunch
old veteran. He enlisted as a pri-
vate in in 1861 and served with dis.
tinction during the entire a His
first service was as adjutant of
Green's (Mo.) State Guards. He
joined the Confederate forces as pri-
vate in Col. Elijah Gates regiment
Captain Guthrie enjoys the reputa-
ton of being one of the finest CON-
handing officers in the State. In
1868, when Gen. Johnston called for a
picked company to follow up Sher-
mans rear. Captain Guthrie was
placed in command. Two-thirds Of
the company were officers who out
ranked the Captain, but his splendid
faculty of handling men and bis
known reputation for courage and
bravery succeeded in making him the
commander.
Col. Claiborne has chosen Captain
Guthrie to handle the old forces to-
day from his we'll know efficiency.
The Captain is a prominent and earn
est member of the Southern Histori-
cal and Benevolent Association, OF
St. Louis, and a man in every sense
of the word. He IS accompanied to
Mexico by his charming daughter,
Mrs. Dunscombe, and is working
night and day to make the reunion
a grand and glorious success.
